Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

Underpinning skills and knowledge

Assessment must include evidence of essential knowledge of, and skills in, the following areas:

industry information sources

technology information sources

cultural information sources

basic research skills:

identification of relevant information

techniques to obtain information

sorting and summarising information

legislation (both state and federal) which applies across the industry in the following areas:

consumer protection

duty of care

equal employment opportunity

anti-discrimination

workplace relations

the function of relevant industry organisations

Linkages to other units

This is a core unit that underpins effective performance in all other film, television, radio and multimedia units. It is recommended that this unit is delivered/assessed in conjunction with other operational and technical units.

Critical aspects of evidence

This unit of competence applies to a range of industries, ie. film, television, radio and multimedia. The focus of assessment will depend on the industry involved. Assessment must be customised to meet the needs of the particular industry and industry sector in which performance is being assessed. Assessment should only address those variable circumstances, listed in the range of variables statements, which apply to the chosen context.

Care should be taken in developing training to meet the requirements of this unit. The specific focus of training will depend upon the industry involved, for example, the film and television, radio or multimedia industry sectors. For generic pre-vocational training, organisations should provide training which is tailored to meet the needs of the particular industry. It is intended that participants will gain a breadth of industry knowledge, encompassing the full range of industry contexts, with no bias towards individual industry specialisations.

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

ability to source industry information

general knowledge of the industry, including main roles, functions and inter-relationships of different sectors, with a more detailed knowledge of issues which relate to a specific sector or workplace

Method and context of assessment

Assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of both of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment.

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

role play

case studies

work samples or simulated workplace activities

oral questioning/interview

projects/reports/logbooks

third party reports and authenticated prior achievements

portfolios of evidence

Resource requirements

Assessment requires access to a range of relevant and current industry information materials listed in the range of variables statement.

Workplace based assessment should use a range of materials current and relevant to that workplace environment.

Simulated workplace activities must be undertaken using a range of relevant and current material appropriate for the industry sector.
